Dear Pavel,
>
> Congratulations, the grant to OKI was approved by our board this week. As

> and approve the final narrative and financial reports for the last grant. I
> will be on vacation from July 21 - 29, and I’ll do my best to approve the
> report as quickly as possible upon my return in August.
>
> Pavel, it’s been a pleasure working with you and the OKI team on this
> proposal — I’m grateful for your patience and time throughout. Editing and
> commenting on the proposal via Google Docs was a helpful experience, and
> I’ll encourage more grantees to follow your lead in the future.

> Don’t hesitate to reach out to Christina and myself with any questions.
